Overnight Blueberry French Toast Casserole image

I made this for Christmas morning brunch, perfect to put in the oven and go open presents while it bakes. You can top with syrup or whipped cream or nothing at all. I found several different recipes similar to this one, but none had everything I wanted to do with it, so I thought I'd try to make my own. I think it is a very good start, but please, let me know what you think!

Tips:

  • Use stale bread: Stale bread absorbs the egg mixture better and results in a more flavorful and less soggy casserole.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can result in a tough casserole. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use a deep baking dish: A deep baking dish prevents the casserole from overflowing while baking.
  • Bake until golden brown: The casserole is done baking when the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Serve immediately: French toast casserole is best served immediately after baking. If you need to make it ahead of time, you can bake it and then reheat it in the oven or microwave.

Conclusion:

Blueberry surprise French toast casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or brunch dish. It's perfect for a crowd and can be made ahead of time. With its sweet and tangy blueberries, this casserole is sure to be a hit with everyone at the table.
